India's China War

Neville Maxwell is uniquely qualified to write this book. He reported these events for The Times as their South Asia correspondent, augmenting and reappraising his understanding of the dispute as a senior fellow at the London School of Oriental and African Studies. In his research, he was given access to unpublished Indian government papers and reports.
Born in London in 1926, Neville Maxwell went to school in Australia, served in the AIF in 1945, and continued his education at McGill University and Cambridge. Working first as a reporter in Australia, he joined The Times in 1955 and spent three years in the Washington bureau before coming to New Delhi in August 1959 as South Asia correspondent. He held this assignment for eight years, travelling widely through India and the sub-continent; and left in July 1967 to make a study of the Sino-Indian dispute as a senior fellow at the School of Oriental and African Studies of London University. He is now joining the Institute of Commonwealth Studies at Oxford.
